PMI’s case against APM Royal Charter rejected

22 January 2016 – London, UK – The Association for Project Management (APM), the UK’s national project management professional body, has announced that the Court of Appeal has today handed down its judgement with respect to an appeal brought by the Project Management Institute (PMI) against the Government’s recommendation to the Privy Council to grant the award of a Royal Charter to the APM.

APM remains committed to achieving Chartered status for the benefit of both the profession as a whole and the wider community. It has reconfirmed its view that it remains for the Privy Council to decide, in the light of its published guidance and the individual circumstances of the organisation, whether a Charter ought to be granted.

APM continues to look forward to the Privy Council determining the application in due course.
